Blu Jenny T162 Black/Red Unlocked Cell Phone
 
Doesn't turn on
- Pros: It's a cheap phone with a lot of features.
- Cons: Did not turn on out of the box. I called the warranty support and they did not help at all.

SHARP FX Plus ADS1 Black 3G Unlocked GSM Android Cell Phone
Update to previous review
- Pros: just the ones listed previously. I have noticed the phone to have pretty good sound as an MP3 player running through my car stereo. I'm getting used to having one device to replace separate things (MP3 player, phone, PDA, maps, etc...) and am really loving the convenience.
- Cons: The phone can be slow to respond at times. If you are new to smart phones it won't bother you too much. The reason I am writing another review is that the SD card has started randomly 'un-mounting' itself and I can't figure out why. It doesn't happen constantly, but every day or two, I will lose access to everything on the card. Rebooting the phone usually brings the SD card back into contact, but not always. Physically removing and re-inserting seems to have no impact. As another guy said, the GPS seems to take forever to acquire a lock.
- Other Thoughts: I still think this phone is a good value for the money. Just adjust your expectations.

Samsung Strive SGH-A687 Purple 3G Unlocked Cell Phone
Failure to charge
- Pros: Love as a replacement to my old Strive. Easy to set up with SIM card.
- Cons: The phone does not charge the battery. I have to use my old phone to charge the battery. Very inconvenient and can't carry my old phone and charger line with me everywhere.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 Black Dual-Core 800MHz 4GB Unlocked Cell Phone
High-up the mediocre catagory
- Pros: Inexpensive dual-core, expandable to 32GB microSD, decent screen, size, mass. Does what it should. Is stable.
- Cons: Description states that the OS can be upgraded, but that is only a rumor. This phone seems to be a non-US market phone, as there is no record of it in the Samsung US site (it shows up in UK and UAE). If you are fine with Android 2.3.6 (as I am) then you won't be disappointed.
- Other Thoughts: I am not a heavy app user. I have no data plan. I only use WiFi. I got this to replace my MP3 player, for TouchOSC, a video/still camera, Angry Birds. This is plenty sufficient hardware for me for a price that it reasonable (two-fifty). If the upgrades are for real, it may be an even better bargain. Overall, I'm very happy with this.

Sony Xperia ZL C6506 Black 4G LTE Quad-Core 1.5 GHz 16GB Unlocked Cell Phone
A beast
- Pros: The screen\dislpay is beautiful also viewable in daylight better than my s3
Well made device.
IR port, has remote control software so you can control your TV, tuner, satellite, cable etc. With the smartphone :)
Size you can actually use this 5 inch device with one hand unlike the Z and many 5 inch devices.
Very responsive nothing lags, battery life is no issue especilly if you use the built in battery saver modes. - Cons: Removable battery, more cases that don't cover the IR port

Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 16GB Black 3G Unlocked Android GSM Smart Phone with S Voice / Smart Stay / Direct Call
Phon-Phon
- Pros: Works great. T-mobile 4g plans are accepted but the phone can only use HSPA so you're down by only a couple of mbit less. Battery is great on normal use.
- Cons: Battery capacity could have been bigger, 2100 mAh is more than enough but if you are gonna use HSPA network speeds then your in trouble because HSPA drains a lot more power than 3g or 2g. I wish there was a setting where I can choose 3g over HSPA.
- Other Thoughts: I wish newegg had a case bundle for this. Not just any case but cases that covers up everything protecting the phone from almost every accident. Examples are Bodyglove ShockSuit, Griffin Survivor for S3.

Samsung Galaxy S3 mini GT-i8190L/GT-i8190 Metallic Blue / Pebble Blue 3G Dual-Core 1.0GHz 8GB Unlocked Cell Phone
This review is to correct the poster who thought he was correcting the first poster
- Pros: Don't own it so have nothing to say either way about the quality or performance.
- Cons: T-mobile actually uses the AWS band for its 3/3.5G, which is 1700+2100 (one is for uplink, other for downlink). So the statement that 1700 is dominant for TMO is wrong.
There are countries that use only 2100 for 3G, but not TMO USA. Since this phone does not support AWS (1700+2100), you cannot use it on TMO AWS 3/3.5G network, even if you are in an area with 2100 band.
He is however correct in that TMO is shifting over most of its 3/3.5G network to the 1900 band and has coverage in a lot of big cities on this re-farmed band. Check the web for coverage of 1900 3G for TMO.

BlackBerry Curve 8350i Black 3G Unlocked Cell Phone
DOES NOT WORK WITH SPRINT
- Pros: Phone seems to be in working condition
Box is nice - Cons: DOES NOT WORK ON SPRINT NETWORK ANYMORE.
I bought this phone as a replacement for a previous sprint phone that broke on me. They informed me that this phone is no longer compatible with their network (due to the Nextel interface).
Informed newegg to try to get a RMA due to the fact that the item description on their website was inaccurate (my purchase decision was based on this information). So far they will not do it.
- Other Thoughts: The phone seems nice and basic (at least compared to the what's on the market right now). I'm sure I would have liked it if it were only compatible with the Sprint network.
Newegg should update the listing for this phone and take Sprint off the compatible network description.
No idea whether this phone is/isn't compatible with Verizon
